  Let's lobby to make non-reporting a felony.

  by avishai in

  this case really pissed me off.

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/68106/2.ashx.. so, let's get together and lobby to make non-reporting a felony in all fifty states.

  it's bullshit that they continue to get away with it and our children continue to get raped as a result.

  Avishai,

  I think I agree in principle with your statement and I definitely agree with your emotive response. But I'd just have a word of caution, sometimes laws like that have unintended negative consequences. For instance, if a child knew that there would be criminal proceedings if they told anyone about the abuse they suffered they might be less likely to report it at all to anyone.

  That's the way it was for me. I was in counseling through most of my early teens because I was so messed up (suicidal) by the sexual abuse I endured as a preteen and I never told any of my counselors about the sexual abuse, because of fear and because I knew if I did they were legally obligated to report it and then I'd have to go through it all again in a criminal trial. All I want(ed) to do was forget it. I don't know. I don't have any answers. But sometimes laws like that keep people from getting help.

  Should obesity be a DF offense?

  by jws in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a headline on today's usa today says that obesity is the #1 killer.

  if being fat is such a health risk (like cigarettes), why don't the jws disfellowship people for being obese?.

  i know in some cases, people gain weight due to medical problems that are hard to control.

  Sure, why not? But if it was, wouldn't you all just say it's just another example of the WTS going beyond what's written? Whatever.

  Hey I know, let's have a constitutional amendment banning obesity? Oh damn, I hope no one mentions that to G.W.

  IMPALEMENT OR CRUCIFIXION?

  by BluesBrother in

  given the topicality of the passion of the christ, it got me thinking again about the manner of his death... i had always been led to believe , in my days as a dub , that death on a stake was far more likely and logical because to be suspended with spread arms would place too much centre of gravity in the centre and the body would pitch forward.. given that jesus took several hours to die, i found the following quote from .the above site interesting ..

  Mohammed Gets Death

  by Sentinel in

  1. social
  2. current

  the final ruling just came down from judge millette for his sentencing, and he upheld the jury in their death penalty verdict.

  this place is a media circus.. i can see everything from my third floor office window.....attorneys for both sides, jury members and family members of those killed being interviewed.

  i'm told mohammed showed no remorse at all.

  Good for him! Too bad his buddy Lee Boyd Malvo is getting off so easy.

  Let's keep in mind that these are the same people that on October 7, 2002 drove up to a playground at a middle school in Bowie, MD., and shot a 13-year-old boy with a high powered hunting rifle and left a note behind saying, "Your children are not safe anywhere at any time."

  I have a little kitty named appropriately enough, Mr. Kitty. He's black with gray stripes and looks like a little dark tiger. He's a smart little cat, too. He'll sit on a window sill and mimic bird calls. I never saw a cat do that before. Unfortunately for Mr. Kitty he doesn't get to go outside so I guess his natural hunting instincts must be all bottled up.

  (Yes I'm aware that there's a Mr. Kitty on Southpark. But my Mr. Kitty pre-dates him.)

  Essay on the End Times - Duelling E-watchman pt 1

  by czarofmischief in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is a response to e-watchman, and it is written from a jehovah's witness perspective.

  feel free to copy it and send it around to anyone you know who is perhaps falling under our latest apocalypto prophet's spell.. czar.

  "the end is not yet...".

  Wow, I think some people here need to take a step back and look at the things they're actually writing. I mean seriously. I don't want to sound insulting. But some of you might need some serious psychiatric help.

  Zeus gets so little attention these days. He must be all lonely up there on Mt. Olympus, guess he's not transforming himself into wild animals and seducing/ravaging young maidens anymore either. These must be sad, sad days for old Zeus. I bet he's all

  What perturbs me most about the Governing Body.

  by Cheetos in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  of all the statements they make its when they make reference to them self's as jehovah.

  when they discuss in the their publication about apostates rebelling against jehovah.

  no rather its against some of the teaching of jehovah's witness's, but of course they don't see it that way do they.

  I only ever met a few members of the governing body and I wasn't particularly impressed with any of them. Since I don't know any of them personally, I can't say whether they're lying hypocrites or not. For all I know they sincerely believe the nonsense they spew. Either that or a lot of them could be in denial. Like a smart person once said, "no one is more blind than someone who doesn't want to see."
  

  I guess what perturbs me the most about the GB is their claim to be the sole channel of communication and direction, the mediator between God and man. In case I'm mistaken, isn't that Jesus' job?

  But let's face it, the JW's and their predecessors have had some awfully messed up leaders through out history. From what I've read: Russell was insane; Rutherford was an egomaniac; Knorr and Franz tried to legitimize the lunacy of their formers but only succeeded in messing things up worse. So are the current GB really any worse then the leaders that came before them?

  At best I think the GB are ignorant fools. At worst I think they're (morally and criminally) culpable in the deaths of countless thousands who refused blood transplants and organ donations because of direction from the GB.
